Fall River Brewing Company

Fall River Brewing Company was founded during the winter of 2011 when John and Amanda Hutchings wrote out separate “bucket” lists. One of the items on both lists was the desire to own their own business. John, the founder and co-owner of the company, had been a home brewer and had developed a passion for the craft. As project manager in the construction industry, John learned much that translated to running a successful business and often found himself brewing beer until the early morning hours after long days at work. This passion continued to grow as John learned more about the craft. Soon thereafter, John and Amanda created Fall River Brewing Company and have enjoyed sharing craft beer with others in the far Northern California and beyond since!

The team also includes Taphouse Manager, Brent Hawkins. Brent grew up with John and absolutely loves the Fall River Valley. Brent has a passion for craft beer and is well known for his exceptional customer service. Brent also has an outstanding résumé that includes a decade of working in the service industry.

Also in 2013, Brewmaster Clay Brackley joined the team at Fall River Brewing Company. Clay is a self-taught and skilled Brewmaster who has spent a great deal of time brewing at some world renown breweries. Clay brings incredible knowledge and talent to the microbrews produced at Fall River Brewing Company.

Currently, Fall River Brewing Company operates it’s production facility out of a converted airplane hangar in an industrial area in the Intermountain Area. FRBC distributes beer in both kegs and bottles to an ever-growing list of restaurants and establishments in Northern California. Be sure to stop by the Fall River Brewing Company’s taphouse which is located in the Cypress Point Shopping Center in Redding, CA.
